Summary

Description
English: Animated graphic showing "flattening the curve" (by slowing the spread of pandemics) and "raising the line" (increasing healthcare capacity), so that health care demands stay within capacity.

Designer's note:

  • An "international" version, without text, is shown and linked below.
  • Based on general ideas published in this source:
Barclay, Eliza; Scott, Dylan; Animashaun, Animashaun (April 7, 2020). "The US doesn’t just need to flatten the curve. It needs to “raise the line.”". Vox. Archived from the original on April 7, 2020.
  • Example of visualizing increasing healthcare capacity is found at:
Radtke, Alexander Flatten the coronavirus curve. FlowingData.com. Nathan Yau (editor) (March 9, 2020). Archived from the original on March 12, 2020.
  • I made 49 individual graphic frames manually with Inkskape (esp. its Bezier tool) and exported as 49 unique PNGs. I imported the 49 PNGs as layers into Gimp. To pad the beginning and end with a "stationary" intro and finish, I added about 30 extra first and last frames within Gimp before exporting as a 30 ms/frame GIF.
